It's hard to be a prodigal

Rumors abounded, and there were rumors that Jiang Le's two young masters were good at Long Yang. It was true and false for a while, and the rumors became more and more evil. Based on the impression of Jiang Zong from the world, when arranging these two people, they were full of imagination Three points of nonsense, one said, the young master of the Jiang family used all kinds of martial arts in order to win Le Lian, and he used all kinds of martial arts to recruit him, and ruined Xiao Lelian to the point of inhumanity.

Jiang Zong didn't care, anyway, the reputation of his age in his previous life was extremely bad, not much better than now. In his previous life, people arranged him to follow the world, or he and Xiao Qiu, the second son of the Xiao family. There are many versions and the plots are similar. Most of them ended with Jiang Zong ruining the family until they were inhumane.

Who would have thought that Jiang Zong spoiled so many sons of good families in the world, but the one on the bed was actually spoiled.

Tired of listening to gossip, go to Maple Leaf Residence to listen to little songs.

In the private room, Jiang Zong asked for a pot of tea and drank it slowly, flipping through a casual book in his hand, the little girl named Mingli he always ordered was kneeling at his feet, with a soft little face Clinging to Jiang Zong's palm, rubbing lightly to please him.

Jiang Zong pinched his soft, white and tender skin, and said with a smile, "It's well maintained. I haven't come to moisturize you for a month. You're next to a new master."

Mr. Ming Li frowned, gently held Jiang Zong's hand with his slender fingertips, and said in panic, "I don't have it, but Mr. Xiao Qiu is enthusiastic. I dare not rebel, and my mother will beat me to death."

"Hmph." Jiang Zong twirled the clothes on Nian Xiaowan'er's body, raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Your clothes are made of ice silk satin, Xiao Qiu is quite generous."

"I don't know what to buy. Are these clothes extremely expensive?" Ming Li looked down at his sleeves in a daze. The material of the clothes was light and soft, and the color was warm and beautiful. It really looked like something a luxury family would wear.

"Master Xiao Qiu said that this is a new fabric from their cloth shop, cut a suit for me." Ming Li felt uncomfortable, his slender eyelashes were trembling, and he rubbed his fingertips awkwardly.

Jiang Zong was thoughtful, propped his chin and said, "600 taels of silver a horse, do you think it's expensive or not?"

Moreover, there is only one family in the world that can weave this ice silk satin.

"Come on, what are you afraid of? You can wear it when you get it." Jiang Zong touched his face, as if he was trembling.

"I asked you to pay attention to the strangers who came and went, what did you gain?"

Ming Li was eager to make up for his merits, and nodded: "Yes, a few sloppy men came here a few days ago, and they mentioned Jinshuishan during the conversation. It seems that something happened there. The bounty was not received. Cursing."

"Yeah." Jiang Zong rested his chin in a daze, he had already guessed that this gangster was entrusted by others, but unfortunately he had too many enemies, so he couldn't be sure who was behind the scenes.

Ming Li knelt obediently between Jiang Zong's legs, held Jiang Zong's belt in his mouth, and licked the limp flesh between his legs through the fabric.

Jiang Zong showed no expression. He rested his chin and looked at the little coquettish fox's vermilion lips, but he couldn't get excited. It seemed that this kind of stimulation was not enough to arouse his desire. Ming Li was really beautiful, with fair skin and weak willow. Fufeng, Jiang Zong's taste, looking at it now, but I can't find the taste.

Ming Li licked vigorously, but suddenly a hand blocked her lips.

Jiang Zong squeezed his chin and gently pushed it away, with a bank note between his fingers, he let Ming Li hold it between his lips, "Okay, I'll just sit down and leave."

Ming Li obediently held the bank note in his mouth, lowered his eyelids and knelt silently.

After a while, he asked softly, "Master, do you have someone in your heart?"

Jiang Zong thought it was funny: "I have you in my heart."

Ming Li silently accepted the bank note: "Ming Li only talks about it, someone has already entered your heart."

He wiped the transparent saliva from the corner of his lips, and silently exited the private room.

It's pointless to stay any longer, Jiang Zong finished the cup of Spring Snow Jasmine in his hand, got up and went downstairs.

It just so happened that Xiao Qiu, the second son of the Xiao family, was downstairs, holding Ming Li in his drunken eyes, clamoring to redeem him.

In the previous life, Jiang Zong did not do little in the matter of forcing the good to be prostitutes and persuading the prostitutes to follow the good. Xiao Qiu, the second son of the Xiao family, was a passionate lover. In the previous life, the two of them also drank a few cups, got drunk at the chessboard, listened to him recite some sour poems, and chatted again. Fengyue.

Jiang Heng stopped by to buy sliced ​​cakes and came back, as soon as he entered the Jiang family compound, he saw Jiang Zong sitting on the stone table chatting with a few big maids.

Hua petals and Hua Ya'er sat at the small table and listened, while Gu Duo'er chirped and asked about anecdotes on the way to Jinshui Mountain.

"That guy is about eight feet tall. His big hand like a water ladle swayed over with a knife in his hands. He saw blood suddenly. If I took another step closer, my corpse would have been separated." Jiang Zong said suddenly when he was nervous Grabbing Gu Duo'er, he cut her throat with his palm, which made the little maid scream and made the other two girls hide their faces and hold back their laughter.

Gu Duo'er held her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, and asked tremblingly, "Master, it's so dangerous, how did you escape?"

Jiang Zong raised his neck slightly, looking at the swan geese flying south across the sky.

"I just ran away, and then I chopped off the three fingers of the outlaw, just to relieve my anger."

Jiang Zong took a cup of tea and took two sips.

There was a young man with high kung fu, a knife with one hand, a blood-red blade, and secretly dice to take people's lives. His face was cold and frosty before the moon stood.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zong restrained himself a little, sat on the stone bench, stretched out his hand to pinch the earlobe of Ninggu Duo'er, took a closer look, and asked with his chin, "How did you put those earrings on?"

Gu Duo'er was taken aback, and curled her lips: "Petal'er pierced my ear hole, and I burned a sewing needle on a candle to pierce it. It hurt like hell, and it swelled up for several days."

Hearing that, Jiang Zong frowned and touched his earlobe: "Yo, it hurts so much."

Seeing that his elder brother still had this virtue, Jiang Heng sighed, put down his little basket, packed up and went to the pawn shop to open.

"I bought sliced ​​cakes, you want to eat them, don't leave them cold." Jiang Heng said while adjusting his clothes.

"Hey." Jiang Zong suddenly clasped his hands under his chin, raised his lips and smiled, "Master Jiang, I have something to tell you. I had nothing to do last night. I went to the North Street Silk and Satin Shop to talk to you." The children went off to set off firecrackers, and accidentally..."

Jiang Heng's hands on the collar suddenly froze, staring at him blankly.

Immediately afterwards, two disheveled young men panicked and fell into the gate of the house, crying and wailing: "Last night, there was a fire in the silk and satin village! The guys have been rescuing them all night, and the Zhuangzi may not be saved... Two The master and the third master are coming here to kill, judging by the posture, I am afraid they will tear the two young masters apart..."

Although the Jiang family's silk and satin shop has always been under the name of Dafang, it is a joint venture of three companies. The scale is not small, and tens of thousands of high-quality silks and satins are sold every year. After the death of the big head, the silk and satin shop has been in the hands of the second uncle , because it is located on North Street, the closest to Dafang's house, and most of them are taken care of by Dafang. If something happens to the silk and satin village, the second and third uncles will first ask the Jiang brothers.

Before the boy could finish crying, he was suddenly kicked in by a foot protruding from the door. The second uncle, clutching two iron walnuts, strode aggressively over the threshold, followed by the third uncle with a heartbroken look on his face.

In the current big house of the Jiang family, Jiang Zong is a prodigal son, and only Jiang Heng, who has not yet grown up, is left in charge. The second uncle can only vent his anger on Jiang Heng, picking up the little scholar and slapping his hands to relieve his hatred.

Before he raised his hand, Jiang Zong grabbed his wrist and pushed it aside.Jiang Zong turned sideways, and pulled Jiang Heng, whose eyes were flushed with fright, behind him.

"Hey, Second Uncle, let's talk, don't move." Jiang Zong raised his chin slightly, and looked at Second Uncle provocatively, "The silk and satin shop is in your hands, if something like this happens, who are you going to beat?" It's useless, the three of us paid for the burned batch of goods, or it would be over."

"You said it lightly!" The second uncle slapped two iron-cored walnuts on the stone table violently, and there was a bang, and the little maids ran away in fright.

"Although the title deed of the silk and satin village is in my hands, and the end-of-year affairs are under my jurisdiction, the people who look after the village have always been sent by your eldest family. If something happens, it is entirely your responsibility. Why should this kind of loss be?" Let us take it?" The second uncle was panting with anger, and the third uncle stood beside him while persuading the second uncle, staring at Jiang Zong.

"Look at what you said, come second uncle and third uncle, sit down, you're welcome." Jiang Zong sat down on the stone bench, raised his clothes and raised his legs, and asked Gu Duo'er to bring the account book of the silk and satin shop, and asked Jiang Heng to stand there Beside him, he turned a page and clicked his tongue, "Since the second uncle came to settle accounts with us on purpose, I will settle the accounts for you two, Jiang Heng, I say you will settle the calculations."

At this time, only the eldest brother could support the situation. Jiang Heng had the backbone, and tremblingly brought the abacus, paper and pen, and sat beside Jiang Zong, rubbing the sweat on his palms nervously, and occasionally glanced carefully at the livid-faced second uncle.

"Jiang's Silk and Satin Village, with an annual output of 600 pieces of ice silk satin, the market price is 4000 taels; [-] pieces of silk satin, the market price is [-] taels; Three taels, originally sold for [-] taels."

"At the end of the year, the looms are overhauled and accounted for, eight looms are replaced at 670, and one loom is repaired at 210, a total of 720 taels, excluding the wages, meals, store renovations, darts, car hire, and tailoring of the satin weavers every year. All the broken pieces are recorded in this account book, and the balance at the end of the year will be 6000 taels of silver."

"But the three-point bonus that our big house gets at the end of the year is 1 taels. What's more, I checked carefully and found that there were only 6000 looms that were overhauled and replaced, and the rest were all repairs. There are [-] taels, and I plan to go to the government to say hello, and wait for the confessions of those workers who repaired the loom to come out, so that the account can be reconciled."

The third uncle's face turned pale immediately, and he forced himself to be calm and said, "Perhaps it's because the shopkeeper of the silk and satin village is not doing his job well, and he can't even keep accounts."

The second uncle thought he was going to threaten him with something, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said coldly: "I have a clear conscience and nothing to prove, I will sue you for slander first, and wait for the craftsman you hired to come up with a confession. "

Jiang Zongfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, twisted the pages of the ledger, and said slowly: "Second Uncle established a line with the Xiaojiabuzhuang last year. The Xiao family has been in the limelight in recent years. Once the Lin family collapsed, the Xiao family became a rising star. There are thirty bolts of ice silk satin on the pavement in their cloth shop."

"Second Uncle, our family's ice silk satin is made of twisted silk and silver embroidered borders, and the flowers are sealed with emerald feather thread. This weaving method is unique not only in Jinzhou, but also in the whole of Nan'an. Tell me, why does the Xiao family have such a unique method?" A serving of ice silk satin."

The second uncle sneered: "It's all an old craft, so why is it the only one? Every embroiderer in Suzhou has this craft, and it's not surprising that the Xiao family can get it."

Jiang Zong's eyes turned cold, he took out a piece of fabric from his sleeve and threw it on the table.

Under the reflection of sunlight, the snow-white silk and satin seem to have colorful luster, like the rainbow glow in the setting sun, shining brightly.

The second uncle raised the corner of his mouth: "What do you want to say?"

Jiang Heng already knew what his elder brother wanted to do, so he put down the brush, picked up the piece of silk and satin, looked through it carefully, and whispered: "Hongxia Fengxiu is my mother's original weaving method. There is only one in the world, because the craftsmanship It was only passed on to a few embroiderers, so at most [-] pieces can be woven every year, and the second uncle gave it all to the Xiao family... What about our regular customers?"

Jiang Zong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about cheating in the account, but also pushed away my father's regular customers. Is it because the Xiao family's price of 1000 taels per piece has attracted you, or is it because you want to completely empty this silk and satin shop? From now on All the profits belong to you, how many taels of silver do you give us brothers every year?"

The second uncle's face was pale and pale, and he pointed at Jiang Zong and shouted: "You are presumptuous! You two little brats are singing together, there are little brats who are born or not, if I and the third child didn't raise you, you would have starved to death!"

"Second Uncle, don't say that. Before you told the bandits about my business with De Yunchang, we haven't settled the account yet. You are proud of me. I have no proof, but this man often walks by the river. Can you keep your shoes from getting wet... When will it be impossible..." Jiang Zong's phoenix eyes raised slightly, "You have to always have a clear conscience."

Those who stood outside the gate of the Jiang family compound to watch the excitement almost broke through the threshold, the crowd was noisy, the Jiang family had just lost face in the Yingchun building, and now they have lost all face.

Jiang Zong was very used to enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention, so he looked at his second uncle leisurely.

The second uncle couldn't bear it any longer. He dropped the iron-cored walnut and said angrily, "Separate! Your two brothers are so hard-edged! Separate!"

Jiang Zong smiled lightly: "Jiang Heng, get a pen and paper."
